A man who was late for a flight at Dublin Airport has been arrested after breaking through a door to try and board the plane.

The man, aged in his 20s, was late for a Ryanair flight to Amsterdam on Thursday morning.

A Dublin Airport spokesperson said he arrived with a woman after the flight's boarding gate had closed.

The man was spotted banging on a window trying to get the aircraft to wait.

He then broke through a door and shouted 'Wait! Wait!' as he made his way toward the plane.

He was restrained by Ryanair staff until Gardai arrived at the scene.

The man's due in court in Dublin shortly.
